Hawaii: Continental Airlines adding new Hilo service from Los Angeles
Continental Airlines will begin daily nonstop service to Hilo (ITO) on Hawaii’s Big Island from Los Angeles (LAX) next year, giving its Southern California customers another option for traveling to Hawaii.
The new flights, beginning June 9, will use 160-seat Boeing 737-800 jets with 16 seats in first class and 144 in economy. Round-trip fares start at $625 plus tax for 14-day advance purchase, Continental spokeswoman Christen David said Wednesday.
The daily outbound flight will leave Los Angeles at 5 p m. and arrive in Hilo at 7:40 p.m. The daily inbound flight will leave Hilo at 8:55 p.m. and arrive in Los Angeles at 5:15 a.m. the next morning.
From LAX, Continental already flies to two other Hawaiian destinations: Honolulu (HNL) on Oahu and Kahului (OCG) on Maui.
In its announcement Wednesday, the airline also said it will begin once-a-week service on Saturdays between Hilo and San Francisco (SFO) in June.
